It’s a week of firsts!

ESPN College GameDay is coming to Berkeley for the first time ever.

I’m off to call a game at Minnesota for the first time ever.

And Cal Head Coach Justin Wilcox was a guest on a podcast for the first time EVER!

Thankfully it was here at Y-Option.

I’ve known Coach Wilcox for almost 20 years and while he is gifted as a coach, talented as a leader, and thoughtful as a friend, what always stands out to me is his humility.

The son of Pro Football Hall of Famer Dave Wilcox, Justin could have easily felt that life would be handed to him as a player or given a pass as a coach, but none of that happened. He earned it all. First as a QB turned DB at Oregon and then as a young assistant turned head coach in college football. And while a ton changes around him, his humility remains the same – Elite.

He notably states with great pride that he is the ‘Son of a Hall of Farmer,’ as Dave loved being on his tractor on their farm and I can’t help but imagine how much joy his Dad would have sitting in his recliner on Saturday taking in the festivities of ESPN College GameDay and the contest against Mario Cristobal and the Miami Hurricanes

He joined the Y-Option podcast to talk about Cal having college football’s most iconic spotlight on it as Rece Davis, Kirk Herbstreit, Nick Saban, Desmond Howard, Lee Corso, Pat McAfee and company come to Berkeley. Justin shared that he will be on the ESPN set Saturday morning, what makes this team of 50 newcomers on it a joy to coach and how they will try to stop Cam Ward (a familiar face on the West Coast) and the #8 ranked Canes.

Enjoy this conversion with Cal Bears Head Coach Justin Wilcox, fueled by our founding partner in 76, as he continues to take Cal Football to special places.

Plus a preview of the weekend ahead in College Football as we reach Week 6.

Much love,

Yogi
